Configuring Load Balancing

The Twin WAN line of products uses a session based Load Balancing algorithm by allowing you to 

manage sessions using several different options:

By monitoring real time speed of both WAN connections, the XC-DPG503 will 

establish new sessions on the WAN port with the lower speed. Use this if there is 

a fairly even speed on both lines and would like to benefit the most from the speed 

available.

Same as above but in this case, the XC-DPG503 monitors the packet flow and tries 

to maintain an even number of packets. Use this if transmitting a lot of small packets, 

such as web browsing and Usenet. This helps you maintain the best latency.

The XC-DPG503 tries to maintain an even number of sessions on each WAN port by 

looking at the current amount of sessions currently established. This is a very general 

setting only to be used if you have similar types of connections (Cable and Cable, DSL 

and DSL) to promote good Internet traffic.

Settings - Load Balance

• Enable – Use this to enable your Load Balance settings.

• Balance Type – Select the desired Balance Type:

- Bytes rx+tx – Traffic is measured by Bytes.

- Packets rx+tx – Traffic is measured by Packets.

- Sessions established – Traffic is measured by Sessions.

• Loading Share on WAN 1 – Enter the percentage (%) of traffic to be sent over WAN 1. The WAN port with the greater bandwidth should

be given a higher percentage of traffic over the other WAN port.

Click the “Update” button to save your changes.

This section displays the current data about WAN 1 and WAN 2. You can use this information to help you “fine-tune” the settings above.

This section displays cumulative statistics. 

Use the “Restart Counters” button to restart these counters when required.

• Update –  Save the settings on this screen.

• Refresh – Update the data on screen.

• Restart Counters – Restart the counters used in the “Interface Statistics” section.
